like Abraham at a track meet...

...the Lincoln runs! Spent some time with it this weekend, hotwired it, then floored it with my left hand while I was upside down beneath the dashboard! Ignition! Spark! RPMs increasing, dust and exhaust and rust in a tornado of VICTORY! ...until all the excitement got the fuel pump (which I'd temporarily disabled, see pic below) to start working, which shot old gas all over the front of the engine and made all of the belts jump their pulleys! Still, I'm counting this one as a victory.
